It's not a science fiction film.

Just turn of your brain dude xD

>Muh WWII

Only alt-righters care about nerdy stuff like consistence in sci-fi flicks.

Star Wars has never been scientifically accurate. Its a "Space Fantasy".

TLJ was still shit though

>How the fuck did the Deathstar explode when there's no oxygen in space?

Oh yeah, no one gave a shit then.

The Last Jedi was trash, but this criticism has no merit.

How do light sabers work? The answer is the same. It doesn't fucking matter.

Magnets or some shit
Bothered me too, movie was so unengaging my brain just automatically started nitpicking

There are bombs in TESB

noobs

Why didn't they hyperdrived bombs?

There was oxygen inside the Death Star, you tool.

magnets, bro

The ship the bombs were in was shown to have standard anti-gravity like most ships in Star Wars. Once they fall past the open doors, they’ll continue on using that momentum. This really doesn’t seem that difficult (and I didn’t even like this movie)

Magnets on the racks.

The same way that X-Wings can bank and maneuver like a fighter jet

>teh death star reactor is a grenade

...

Makes sense, liberals are too dumb to catch glaring inconsistencies

Imagine being this dumb

why didn't they have a failsafe to stop the bombs exploding in the event that one of them discharged and for some reason they all fly out the sides? why is there no failsafe to stop the bombs all flying out the sides? if you really can't prevent those, why fly in a tight side-by-side formation, the formation which will be most devastated by such an event? if the entrance is guarded by two laser turrets, why didn't they shoot down the tie fighter before it flew in? if one payload can destroy one of the largest ships in the galaxy why would you bring your entire fleet? if you have a 50 foot ladder shaft in your ship why would you only have one small unattached remote to launch rather than one strapped to the wrist of every crew member?

Why did the remote activator fall instead of float in the weightlessness of the microgravity environment?

>Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including objects ranging from atoms and photons, to planets and stars. Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars – and for the stars to group together into galaxies – so gravity is responsible for many of the large scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects.

This. You might as well complain that the tie fighters make noise in space

>Lets just make the B-Wing really fat

>Some flimsy reason left the bombers unavailable for the assault on Starkiller Base
lel

All the ships have gravity when you're on them, so they have the tech to create artificial gravity. That's why things drop when they're let go. Once they're in space they'd just continue to travel until they hit something.

It's not a plot hole, user. You don't need to "turn your brain off."

The “noise” is an audio representation of sensor data of their engine signature to give pilots a sense of where other craft are

>imagine being baited this easily

What? You can hear them shoot lasers and fly around.

Real bombers have curves. No man wants to be inside a bony freak.

>huhuhuh me waz just bateing :)

How did Leia breathe in space? I don't remember any Jedi or Sith from the OT, PT, Force Awakens, or EU being able to do that.

DUDE I SUBVERTED YOUR EXPECTATIONS LMAO

The same way that Porkins would have when they told him to eject.

Literally the first scene of The Phantom Menace has Qui-Gon and Obi Wan shown they can hold their breath for a long time while they escape the gas-filled room.

this, i don't get why people can't understand this concept

It’s an old EU explanation, but essentially the cockpits have speakers that are providing surround sound audio based on the corresponding atmospheric sounds of X-Wings, Tie Fighters and others.

You people are the worst.

Lightsabers were invented for this series and they aren't based on anything real. Meaning the writer can invent its properties, and as long as it is explained somewhat logically, it will be accepted. Same thing as vampires. No one complains about vampires not being real when seeing a vampire movie, that would just be plain stupid.

The sound in space is simply for the movie experience, so it doesn't get as boring when watching it. No one in all nine movies ever acknowledges that ships are making sound in space. But get this: TIE fighters making sounds in space or not does not impact the story itself. The plot will proceed regardless.

Now with this bomber, what we see is clearly a WWII inspired vessel, built in a way that would make bombs simply drop down like from a plane. The bombs themselves don't seem to have any propulsion system at all, and so must rely on gravity. But there is none, at least not like it would be on the surface of a planet. Tie Bombers and Y-Wings used proton bombs, which seemed to be propelled from the ship, not dropped. So it was fine. But this isn't the case here.

For a ship designed for space combat, that is a pretty glaring flaw.

Magnets or some shit.
The better question is why they build these huge, slow, fragile bombers instead of just using B-wings.

...

The bomber had its own gravity field. Once it drops the bombs out the bottom, they continue. Acknowledge that this is what happened.

don't forget both pilot and the crew were able to breath when the hatch was opened.
on fucking space vacuum.

Best scene in the movie

What?

How do you know they were "dropped" and not artificially moved towards the target?

Correct, I didn't even want to mention it.

No, it didn't. That's your headcanon at work. Even the official guide doesn't mention anything like that, it talks about magnets and shit.

Fuck off.

If you hold your breath in space you blow your lungs up. You want to expel every bit of oxygen in your lungs the moment you enter the vacuum of space.

>ship has gravity
>bombs fall out of ship and keep going

It looks impressive, but it really makes you wonder why nobody used hyperspace warfare until now if it's so fucking effective.

All you have to do is push something out of an airlock and it will keep moving in that direction for infinity. That being said, why didn't they just use missiles instead?

that was some serious weeaboo shit

If you try to use your mind to move a 5-ton spaceship out of a swamp, nothing will happen.

> as long it is explained somewhat logically

They really never explain anything about lightsabers either. I was bothered when Luke said lasersword or something similar instead of lightsaber. TLJ certainly had some odd choices, but picking on physics could have been done on any of the films.

When ships are near a planet they augment their main engines with repulsorlift drives (the same type of engine that levitates speeders). Thus when the bombs are released they fall towards the planet while the other ships stay in place

>Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it.

holy shit. who the fuck wrote this?
this is wikipedia level retarded

just because energy and mass have a directly proportional relationship it doesn't mean they're equivalent, they do not have the same physical properties and even purely mathematical, i'm pretty sure one is bay an order of c squared bigger than the other
also, photons DO NOT HAVE MASS
also, since they have energy they do interact with the curvature of spacetime, and so gravity, by impacting the stress energy tensor
also they travel at the precise speed of light so relativistic aproximations are not possible for them since, you know, if they had mass, they'd have infinite mass

by the way OP, it could have worked if they specified that the dreadnought was massive enough that it's mass, coupled with whatever form of artificial gravity generator they had on every ship, would generate 1g at the distance the bombers were going over it
however, the movie was not aimed at an audience who would care about this but rather is more interested in "pew pew, lazors in space"

the entire film was a bomb

>He, he, just pretending to be retarded

Please stop spamming this.

Artificial gravity in a ship is not a magic bubble that surrounds it. It needs to be generated artificially by the ship, meaning for the floor you "pull you down", a floor needs to be there.

That ship, at least that part of it, had no more floor. The hatch was opened and exposed to the vacuum of space. That entire compartment would've lost its atmosphere and gravity along with it.

Besides, in Star Wars, bombs are propelled. Not dropped. Meaning that designing a ship to drop bombs when the possibility of propelling them exists makes no sense. Especially in the context of space combat.

It was mostly expanded upon in the EU and games, to a point where every component of a lightsaber is known. It's a magic crystal focused through a lens.

But like I said, it was new and part of the magic of Star Wars. Of course they didn't need to explain every part of it in the original movies.

That bomber is in no way special, new or magic. It's a WWII bomber using WWII tech when SW tech does it better already.

It's like if they always had these blasters and turbolasers, but stormtroopers' E11 rifles used real ammo instead of laser for the sake of "muh WWII"

You understand there is gravity in space right

So dropping a bunch of bombs with magnets seems alright to me but...
A bunch of uncontrolled bombs being just pushed out into space surely they'd just collide with each other and blow up immediately right?

Underrated post

>It was mostly expanded upon in the EU and games, to a point where every component of a lightsaber is known.
That was a mistake, as were those old cutaway technical books that made a troop transport's weapons more powerful than the sun or whatever.

If the bombs can move through space via momentum, then how can the Resistance fleet be in danger of running out of fuel in their chase? This movie is trash.

The more important question is why did Rose's sister not instantly die from being exposed to the vacuum of space?

because women can be just as tough as men. sorry if that challenges your delicate white masculinity.

The worst offense is how every ship in both fleets, so the Mon Calamari, Snoke's ship and the SSDs all can't go faster or slower than any other.

If Mon Cal is faster, race is over, rebels wins.
If SSD/Snoke is faster, race is over, first order wins.

No, they all conveniently go at the same speed, regardless of engines/size/whatever.

t. brainlet who failed high school science

Wasn't the Millennium Falcon allegedly the fastest ship in the galaxy?

t. nihilist

I don't think the fastest. It was fast, it could outrun imperial cruisers, but I'm sure there were faster ships than the Falcon.
